Are they joking?! Putting a lithium mine in the middle of an agricultural area? Have they lost their minds?

@jjohnson5014 The mine will just take up a, in comparison, small part. But it will pollute like nothing Portugal has ever seen, and make the food unsafe for human consumption, or any consumption for that matter. I rather let the Chinese build ten nuclear power plants in the area than opening a lithium mine. It's literal death to all life.

@jh5kl Show me one example of a lithium mine that hasn't been devastating to the local area and ecology

@jh5kl Oh stop that moronic way of argumentation. Do building a house pollute the groundwater for miles and miles? No it doesn't. Lithium mines are like uranium mines, some of the dirtiest things we have the pleasure of doing. Not something you place in an agricultural area, you know, where they grow food on an industrial level... Jobs? You really think food just magically appears in your supermarket

@jondoe5536 Are you using a future lithium mine as proof that is has no devastating environmental impact? Please share you magic 8-ball with your government. The ability to see into the future would be very useful for them
